Programme SAP RFFMMP_PRECLOSE - Preclosing: Transfer Residual Budget

Purpose
You use this program before theyear-end closing run, inthe preclosing phase, in order to calculate and transfer residual budgetfor the closing of specific FM accounts. This program then generatesbudget entry documents.
Note
This is not a mandatory step in closing operations, and is also not aprerequisite for carrying over residual budget to the following year.
You can use this program in the following situations:

  • You want to balance your budget with respect to the
  • availability control objects
    or cover groupsbefore carrying the budget over to the next year, or
    • You want to balance your budget with respect to a group of
    • budget addresses beforecarrying it over.
      In order to obtain a balanced budget, the residual budget or a portionof it (in percentage form) is transferred to specific FM accountassignments according to predefined rules specified in the IMG activityAssign Strategy for Reassignment to FMArea.
      • You want to transfer only negative budget to predefined FM
      • account assignments and then in a second step carry out year-end closingusing the Budgeting Workbench.
        The calculation of the budget to be transferred is based on key figures.

        Prerequisites
        In Customizing, you have defined a key figure for calculating the amountto be transferred, in the IMG activity under Budget Control System(BCS) -> BCS-Budgeting -> Define Key Figures
        .
        This key figure is only available in this program if the categoryCarryover is specified.

        Features
        Basis for Calculation
        The program calculates the budget amount to be transferred according tothe key figure you have specified and creates the corresponding budgetentry document lines for all FM account assignments that match theselection criteria.
        An additional option for the calculation is the revaluation bypercentage amount.
        Document Settings
        In the document settings, you have to specify the following generalheader data to be contained in all budget entry documents created bythe program:

        • You have to specify the document type and
        • document date.
          • On the sender side (process SEND) and receiver
          • side (process RECV), you can choose differentkinds of budget types.
            • Using Additional Data you can add further information such as the
            • document header text, and the person responsible.
              • You must set a sender period. On the receiver side you have two options:

              • You specify a receiver period, or
                You distribute to different periods according to a chosendistribution key.
                • Under the Year of Cash Effectivity, you can enter the
                • range of years that are valid forcash effectivity.
                  Document Family Number
                  The documents created from one program run are grouped by adocument family number and can be easily retrievedagain after the program run. For example, you can use the documentfamily number as a selection criterion if you want to reverse alldocuments created in one run. You do this using the programReverse Budget Entry Documents.

                  Processing Options
                  If you set the indicator "Check Transfer within AVC Object/Cover Group",the program prevents you from transferring budget across AVC objects orcover groups.
                  Note
                  Such a check is only carried out if the selection takes place either viaAVC objects or cover groups.
                  The Grouping settings allow you to specify which FM accountsassignment element combinations should be grouped in one budget entrydocument. A new entry document is always created for each new fund. Inthe Grouping settings you can extend the grouping to one of the other FMaccount assignment elements (for example, you can checkmark the
                  Funds Center in order to get a new document for each new combinationof fund and funds center. In order to avoid overflow in the entry andchange document (line items table FMBDP) number ranges, you canonly select one account assignment element in addition to the fund.
                  If you set the indicator "Grouping settings per AVC object/cover group",this allows you to create documents for each new availability controlobject or cover group.
                  Note
                  This setting only applies if you have indirectly selected budgetaddresses either using AVC objects or cover groups. In this case,grouping settings per budget address are not considered.
                  You can run the program either as a test run or as an update run.Background processing is also possible.
                  If you set the indicator '"Only Negative Budget", then only negativebudget (that is, budget deficits) are considered in the transfer.

                  Selection
                  Besides the options described above, you must also specify the FM area,budget category, version and fiscal year. You can limit the source FMaccount assignments by using selection options or the multiple selectiontool.
                  You can select FM account assignments using availability control objectsor cover groups as follows:

                  • If you select via availability control data (availability control
                  • objects or automatic cover groups), you must specify an availabilitycontrol ledger.
                    • If you select via cover groups, either automatic or manual selection
                    • options are offered.
                      You can select a sender and a receiver year of cash effectivity. If youmake no entries, budget is transferred using the years of casheffectivity defined in Customizing.

                      Output
                      The program generates a detailed list with the result of the program runif the corresponding option was chosen.
                      This list contains the following information:

                      • Indicator specifying the maximum degree of error (error, warning,
                      • information)
                        • Document number - in case the document was not posted (test run or
                        • errors), a temporary document number is generated by the program anddisplayed.
